PAFit (version 1.2.10)

PAFit_oneshot: Estimating the nonparametric preferential attachment function from one single snapshot.

Description

This function estimates the attachment function \(A_k\) from one snapshot.

Usage

PAFit_oneshot(net_object, 
              M    = 10,
              S    = 5,
              loop = 5,
              G    = 1000)

Value

Outputs a PAFit_result object.

Arguments

net_object

an object of class PAFit_net that contains the network. Any time-step information, if available, will be ignored.

M

Integer. Number of simulated networks in each iteration. Default is 10.

S

Integer. Number of iterations inside each loop. Default is 5.

loop

Integer. Number of loops of the whole process. Default is 5.

G

Integer. Number of bins for the PA function. Default is 1000.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
  library("PAFit")
  net_1    <- generate_BA(N = 10000, alpha = 1) # true attachment exponent = 1.0
  result_1 <- PAFit_oneshot(net_1)
  print(result_1)

  
  net_2    <- generate_BA(N = 10000, alpha = 0.5) # true attachment exponent = 0.5
  result_2 <- PAFit_oneshot(net_2)
  print(result_2)
